I genuinely believe that.
Now, given that I am not the biggest boxing fan on the face of the planet, I know that I am opening myself up to some ridicule with this assumption but I feel that, at this point, there is enough evidence to support the claim. Let me just type out some ideas and you can all tell me how ridiculously stupid I am being.
Zab Judah, like him or not, was a World Champion boxer. He was not some old horse that should have been taken out the back of the barn with a broken leg and shot. For all intents and purposes, he was on the same level as Amir Khan before the fight last night. Both of them were walking into the ring with Championship affixed to them. Whether you care to rank the IBF, WBA, WBO in any order, you have to respect that they all reward fighters for being the best in their weight classes and that is exactly what Zab Judah and Amir Khan were and are.
However, last night, Amir Khan showed me and the rest of the world that he can mix it with the best. Not only did he make Judah look like a man on the down-slope of his career, he made him look positively amateurish. There was no trace of the Judah that had 15 Championship fights and two different Championship reigns. No, Amir Kahn made him look like your average fighter that you find at your local boxing club.
Amir Khan, whether you like him or not, has the talent to take on anyone that matches his weight class. Whether you like it or not, that does include Floyd Mayweather.
He has phenomenal hand speed that only a few fighters seem to have. Mayweather is another fighter that could keep up with Khan and that is why this fight needs to happen. Mayweather wants to fight more than once a year and Khan wants to fight him. After last night, I think that Khan has nothing left to prove to the American populace and that a fight with Maywerather would be the most productive outside of a fight with Manny. It is going to sell itself and no one is going to come out of the fight as a loser. The fans are going to be overjoyed to see a fight that will excite them after such a depressing time in boxing recently.
But more to the point, I think that Khan has both the speed and the talent to take Mayweather the distance. I have a feeling that, at this point, Khan is good enough that he could make it a very interesting fight and could even pull out a win against Money Mayweather. When you also take into account that Freddie Roach has taken Khan to a whole new level, you have to think that he at least has a chance of beating Mayweather?
Anyone care to weigh in on this one?
